Sale of unneeded personal property of district.

(A)
When the
supervisors of a soil and water conservation district find, by resolution, that
the district has personal property, including motor vehicles acquired for the
use of district officers, road machinery, equipment, tools, or supplies, which
is not needed for public use, or is obsolete or unfit for the use for which it
was acquired, the supervisors may sell such property at public auction or by
sealed bid to the highest bidder, after giving at least ten days' notice of the
time, place, and manner of sale by posting a typewritten or printed notice in
the office of the board of county commissioners. In case the fair market value
of the property to be sold pursuant to this division is, in the opinion of the
supervisors, in excess of two thousand dollars, notice of the time, place, and
manner of the sale shall also be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in the district at least ten days prior to such sale. The
supervisors may authorize the sale of such personal property without
advertisement or public notification and competitive bidding to the federal
government, state, or any political subdivision of the state.

If the supervisors conduct a sale of personal property by
sealed bid, the form of the bid shall be as prescribed by the supervisors, and
each bid shall contain the name of the person submitting it. Bids received
shall be opened and tabulated at the time stated in the notice. The property
shall be sold to the highest bidder, except that the supervisors may reject all
bids and hold another sale, by public auction or sealed bid, in the manner
prescribed by this section.

(B)
Where the supervisors find, by resolution, that
the district has vehicles, equipment, or machinery which is not needed, or is
unfit for public use, and the supervisors desire to sell such vehicles,
equipment, or machinery to the person or firm from which they propose to
purchase other vehicles, equipment, or machinery, the supervisors may offer to
sell the vehicles, equipment, or machinery to such person or firm, and to have
such selling price credited to the person or firm against the purchase price of
other vehicles, equipment, or machinery.

(C)
Where the supervisors advertise for bids for the
sale of new vehicles, equipment, or machinery to the district, they may include
in the same advertisement a notice of their willingness to accept bids for the
purchase of district-owned vehicles, equipment, or machinery which is obsolete
or not needed for public use, and to have the amount of such bids subtracted
from the selling price of the other vehicles, equipment, or machinery as a
means of determining the lowest responsible bidder.
